How do you look a friend in the eye after you pissed in his kitchen sink?

Quite easily since you've watched the same man piss on a car

LUMPY & THE DUMPERS - Bat

And the flag’s perpetually at half mast

And the limp dick lynchpins can’t see past

They’ve got everything to lose

And their empty heads it proves

That there’s nothing they want more than more

Well I’ll take what I can get but I’ll never

Be your whore

Articles of Faith “Give Thanks” 1984. Reflex Records, produced by Bob Mould. Happy Thanksgiving! A little 80′s Midwest hardcore punk to spice up that traditional holiday vibe today (though this year is anything but traditional: we’d usually be driving north a couple of hours to see family but this year are staying home; I ordered takeout). From Chicago, Articles of Faith were on the smart side of hardcore (as well as politically aware and active; singer Vic Bondi went on to become a history professor and front other hardcore/emocore bands) and also musically adept as compared to many of their contemporaries. But it’s still super-fast and super-loud and super-yelly. My top songs are the title track “Give Thanks,” “Hollow Eyes,” “Chicago” and “American Dreams.”
